*Co-sponsor of the t-shirt toss – 2,000 t-shirts imprinted with the Pirates logo and the Trusted Choice logo will be given away. Our signs will continue to be displayed throughout the Civic Centerfor an entire year! What does this mean for independent insurance agents? Trusted Choice visibility to the hundreds of thousands of consumers, who attend a variety of non-hockey events such as concerts, ice shows, business meetings, trade shows, sports events, the circus and more! Trusted Choice signs are now displayed at the Augusta Civic Center, Bangor Auditorium, the Forum in Presque Isle, the Androscoggin Colisee in Lewiston, Sukie Area in Winslow and Midcoast Recreation Center in Rockport! This brand will differentiate our members from the direct and captive writers who represent just one company. It is going to take a lot of time and work but eventually consumers are going to see the TC logo and know that it represents insurance agents who can provide the right policy to fit their individual needs.
What's next? Let's go racing at Beechridge Speedway! In the event of a crash, let's hope those drivers are insured by a trusted choice agent! Now that the brand is visible to the consumer, is your agency visible to the consumer?
